228: The SodShow meets Fiann O’Nuallain Sep 11, 2015

Show notes

On this weeks Sodshow Peter Donegan chats with good friend and fellow garden man Fiann O’Nuallain.

Better known as The Holistic Gardener, Fiann is the author of 2 very successful books, a regular speaker of the garden circuit, an award-winning garden designer (Peter and Fiann both built and designed gardens year 1 of Bloom In The Park 2007) and one of the finest gentlemen you will ever meet.

And on this jam-packed episode of The Sodshow the lads chat pretty much everything from studying horticulture, herbalism and aromatherapy to garden making, dock leaves and nettle stings. They also travel into murkier waters and logically come to the conclusion that no book Fiann has written will ever make Peter in any way better looking and that Fiann is now much more popular than Peter.

It’s all good and all crammed into this wonderful little Irish Gardening Podcast.

Show notes

Part 2 of 2, as Peter Donegan returns to West Cork Secret, Kilbrittain. Part 1, embedded below.

There Peter met college friend, friend, colleague, fine gentleman and fellow horticulturist Finbarr O’Mahony of West Cork Secret.

And you probably wouldn’t believe us if we told you, or you would; but Peter was again, camping, in Cork, on his holidays, in the very stunning gardens of West Cork Secret. Whilst there, the former students took a little time out to chat together.

From college life before, during and after Kildalton were they studied together; to setting out in business at younger than 25 years of age; and from the lows of the tough years and getting through; to just what and why some choose to tough it out in an industry where the rewards are not entirely monetary – but more than worth every single second.

Part 1 aired Friday 10th July. Part 2, Friday July 17th.
